So here's something that exists....shoe laces made completely with gold or silver. Each pair takes 120 hours of sweat shop labor to complete through an intensively straining process. The gold laces go for a measley $19,000. Of course, if you're too pathetically impoverished to afford that, you can always get the silver ones for only $3,000, but at that point, why bother -everyone will still know you're just a peasant.
